So the doctor had done a ultrasound on me on my first appointment seeing him and informed me that "it looks like my uterus lining is thick" so he prescribed me with 200mg progesterone for 10 days to thin out the lining and have my menstrual regulated. He mentioned that it should regulate my period which i havent had since age 22 and i am 33 right now. So i was excited thinking im about have my menstrual regulated again and have a chance to conceive which ive been trying the last 13 years with… read more
Hi! I would first like to comment that it's odd he took what you said during your virtual meeting as a positive sign. If you took 200mg of progesterone for 10 days, you should have bled 1-3 days… read more
My pcos causes cravings weight gain and weight loss issues and docs claim I’m overweight for family planning
I just started it a few days ago and so far so good. I will say that I have had tummy issues 2/3 days but it hasn’t been too much to handle!
I had some stomach pain and nausea, mostly at night, but it only lasted about 2 weeks! My most recent labs showed it has helped my hormones after 6 months on it so far. They're not perfect, but it's… read more
I sometimes feel nauseous and get really hot and then it goes away.
I do too, but I don't know if it's related to my PCOS, which I doubt or if it's because of either my type 2 diabetes or something else.
Just wondering if there are any supplements that some would recommend over others cause it seems promising? I’d love to hear opinions on what works! Thank you!
Thank you @A myPCOSteam Member ! Good to know! Is there any particular inositol supplement you recommend? I take magnesium too, used to take l-theanine but ran out and been meaning to get more haha
Hi Ladies. So I got diagnosed today. My doctor wasn't very helpful. I don't know what type of PCOS I have and wasn't aware that there were other types of PCOS. I do a lot of research into things and had questions to ask. But when I got in there today and he told me the news I froze. I still don't really understand this Insulin thing. I have excessive hair growth on my face. Does anyone have any tips for that? That is my main concern at the moment.
Yeah that’s true I heard that helps
Did you experience it?
How bad was it?
Did it affect your daily life?
How do you know it was because of your PCOS?
Did it get better with treatment?
And to what extent did it get better?
Hahaha well I’m glad I made a little sense. And that also makes a lot of sense for stress to be causing/worsening cognitive difficulties as well. Oogly boogly life in general seems stressful! lol. And… read more
When I first was diagnosed with PCOS I was already struggling with an eating disorder from being in modeling. I now have no appetite ever it feels like and I can go days without thinking about or wanting food. When I do eat I get super nauseous. I guess what I’m wondering is does anyone else feel this way and how do they combat it?
If haven't already done so, I would also recommend that you ask you doctor for a referral for an ultrasound to make sure there is not growth on your ovaries.
So when I read that metformin causes gas/upset stomach/diarrhea they weren't kidding. It's been about a month now and I want to know...am I going to be plagued with diarrhea forever???? It doesn't seem worth it. I'm scared to eat because I don't know what's going to make my upset stomach and diarrhea even worse than it already is.
It takes awhile but sometimes the side effects come back
Started periods at age 17, went on the pill at 18 so no real way of monitoring regularity of cycles. Tried to conceive from 2016-2021 but made the decision to stop fertility treatment. Have a very healthy and active lifestyle, healthy weight but would gain weight easily if I was not careful. No period at all now for 2 years. Not sure if this is a cause for concern and whether I should contact my GP.
Hmm so I didn’t know until my most recent Pap smear that for women like us it’s helpful to get a period at least every 90 days (to help prevent uterine cancer). You may wanna ask your GP or gyno if… read more
